Richard Wilson's second solo show at Galleria Fumagalli in Milan

exhibition · 2026-05-04

Richard Wilson (born 1953 in London) presents his second solo exhibition at Galleria Fumagalli in Milan, featuring four new wooden sculptures, eight drawings, and two photographic postcards. The series, titled 'Take an Object,' draws inspiration from everyday forms but engages with the void that measures and confronts them with space, placing them in an analogous relationship. Works such as 'Direct Debit' (2018), 'Stealing Space, Compressed' (2018), and 'Shells' (2018) transform into formal exoskeletons composed of enormous gears that indicate precise viewpoints, while the drawings on the walls trace their developments and radical metamorphoses.
